EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!
ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW
POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)
“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.
edit:
r/interestingasfuck removed as well
This morning’s news about the r/mildlyinteresting team being reinstated and unsuspended by a different admin - that’s confirmation that there’s internal conflict going on. Protests don’t work, my ass.
It would be nice to see some some of the admins go rogue also. I know it’s a lot to ask for people to sacrifice their jobs but some people still have ethics. And some people are in a positions where they can leave their job and pick up another one within hours or days if they’re in the demanding field.
We might see someone break from the admin team, quietly or not-so-quietly. I hope for the latter, of course.
Yeah but they might also get fired for it and that helps nobody.
I was unclear. By “break” I meant quit working at reddit. Such a “breaker” might do so without explanation, with private explanation (which could leak), or with public explanation.
Or its a good cop bad cop act.
Good sdmin offers suggestions to mod, then mods comply due to gratitude.
That presumes there was insight and planning, neither of which reddit seems to have.
You know protests don’t work, because the people in power are telling you protests don’t work.
I must admit I was a bit skeptical about whether the protest will work, especially since from the beginning there was a 48h deadline on it, which set us up for failure.
But the way the community has rallied around this cause makes me so proud.
Reddit the corporate entity is failing us, but they’re learning that they only have power because the community chose them. Wish them good luck with their upcoming IPO with reddit currently being a dumpster fire.
If it wasn’t working, we wouldn’t see subs forced open, subs forced back to SFW, mod teams summarily demodded and suspended, “fuck spez” comments being disallowed - and there’s surely more to come.
Oh, it’s working.
